    Children will come of age in a world far more globally connected and competitive than at any time in history. Will they be ready? Please join in for a special evening with Dr. Tony Wagner, one of the nation’s foremost education experts. He'll outline new skills that students must have to succeed in a “flat” world and share innovative strategies to help them navigate the academic, career and citizenship challenges that await them.

He is author of The Global Achievement Gap: Why Even Our Best Schools Don’t Teach the New Survival Skills Our Children Need – And What We Can Do About It.
